What sort OF men have been

weighty matters that concern great
communities. Surely, however honest,
such men can no more legislate for

did the aldermen who in old times
appropriated nearly all the taxes OF
Memphis to pay salaries to sen whose
evidences Of ability for office lay
in their efficiency as strikers at the
polls on the day OF election. They

"another provocstion, and asks ii BIS
mArck is seeking s casus belli. The
Germans requested Schanbele to set
up one OF the posts which mark the
frontier line. The Commissary cross
ed the boundary and advanced a few
yards on German soil, when he was
seized by German police egents, who
were disguised in gray blouses. He
knocked the agents down and escaped
rack to French territory, but he was
again seized, hsndcuffed, and sent to
Metz, where he was placed in the pris'
on in which accused persons are con-
fined before trial. The warrant for
the arrest emanated from the public
prosecutor at Metz, who acted under
instructions from Strasburg. The
French ProCu,ator at Nancy has gone
to Pagpy to inquire into the affair.
Most OF the Paris evening papers make
no comment on this incident. The
Libete says it is expedient to refrain
from comment until Germany shall
have explained The occurrence.

THE sTREBr RAILROADS.

The devil that everybody supposed
had been laid has popped up again.
The street railroad companies and the
Taxing District government are again
at oggtrheads. The former have, it
appears, failed to keep that part OF
their agreement that bound them to
make transfers at Main as we'll as Sec
ond street, and President Hsdden says
the old status Of war has been restored.
This ia unfortunate. The consolidated
company had promised so much OF
Improvement on the old lines that the
people were quite happy over the
prospect and rather Endorsed the COM
bination. But all their hopes are now
dashed. Frazer and Hsdden as liti-
giants come TO the front again and the
devil Ia once more to pay.

The Ney Mystic y

The recent exhumation of the remains
of p. s. Ney, at Third Creek Church, in
Rowan county, n. c., shed no light upon
the mystery of the eccentric man who
many have long supposed was the VERT
able Marshal Ney of France. SO much
of the skull had passed into dust that it
could not be ascertained whether or not
it had been trcphined. Unavailing
search was made III the grave for the
silver plato and for the bullets which it
was thought by many would be found.
a large number of persons were pres
ont, and the cXhumation was conducted
by eight well known physicians, who
made the following report:
Tho undersigned physicians wish to
state that according to previous notice
we did to-day cause to be exhumed the
remains of p. S. Ney, in the presence of
a great number of witnesses, some of
them from Washington City, Raleigh
and other parts Of the country. Wo
found some of the bones only and these
in u state of such decay that VIC cannot
state positively whether the skull had
even been trephincd or not. We made
diligent search FOR bullets said to have
been lodged in the body but found none.
We succeeded so far however, as to
ascertain that the skeleton was about s
feet 10 inches long and the skull around
about the eyes about "a inches in cir

alta" The fact that she had been heard
here before in this opera did not seem to
have a dctcrring effect upon the public,
and 1t may be t~ruthfully said that rarely if
ever, has so distinguished an audience as
scmbled within the walls of an opera house,
as that which gathered at Albaugh's on
Tuesday evening. The President Of the
United States, his Cabinet officers, mel
prominent in political affairs, women who
arc recognized as qucensinthe social world,
and titled representatives of foreign
countries, combined in paying their tribute
to the acknowledged queen Of song.
Queen Kapionani, of the Hawaiian
Islands, and her party arrived in Washing
ton Tuesday evening, and spent the remain
der of the week in viewing the wonders of
our national capital. 1t is not an uncom-
mon thing for distinguished representatives
Of foreign countries to visit Washington.
| but it is seldom that VIC have been honorcd
| by the visits of royalty itself. The Queens
complexion is not quite SO dark as the full
| blood negro, but darker than that of the
\ average mulatto. She is of medium height
and weighs apparently about 200 pounds.
The Princess, who accompanies her as a
member of the party, is much younger
than the Queen, and, Notwithstanding hcl
dark complexion, is quite handsome. Dur
ing the Queens stay in Washington she was
entertained by both government officials
and the representatives of foreign countries,

| Washington and with her entertainment
| here.
When it was announced that the com,
| plcXioncd ruler of the South Pacific Islands
! was to be given the distinguished honor OF
a special dinner at the White House, n pro.
test was heard from some frcqucntcrs OF
the Executive Mansion. 1t was said that al
least one Of the Cabinet officers would moi
attend the dinner, but this rumor was un.
founded. Upon the occasion of the Queens
| visit TO the Washington barracks, she was
received by General Gibson and the troop
were reviewed by her. A royal salute wa
fired rs the party passed through the gates,
After leaving the barracks the party attend

Unwilling an Indian Idol.

A rock which the Sioux Indians near
Fort Yates, ID. T., have worshiped for
generations as the petrified form of n
young squaw, was formally unveiled the
other day and dedicated to peace and
plenty. 1t appears that the white SGT.
tiers in the vicinity have long supposed
that this specimen of natures art work
exerted q restraining influence on the
Indians, but of late the rock has been
removed from it's original resting place
and 1t was feared that with its removal
Its charm had disappeared. So the sug-
gestion was made to Sitting Bull that the
statue be placed upon a permanent
pedestal and unveiled with appropriate
ceremonies. This pleased the chieftain
and 5000 Indians assembled to take part
in the strange medley of Christian and
pagan rites by which the unwilling was
accompanied.-Reno Gazette.
